INTRODUCTION. 


This  work  is,  in  fact,  what  it  is  in  name,  viz.,  Souvenir  of  The 
Saint  Patrick's  Day  Centennial  Celebration,  and  as  such  it  cannot  be 
more  appropriately  dedicated  than  to  the  officers  and  men  of  the 
Second  Regiment,  this  being  the  day  of  their  first  parade  as  a  regi- 
ment. In  so  dedicating  the  book,  the  publisher  respectfully  calls  on 
all  friends  and  readers,  especially  those  whose  means  demand  of 
them  to  act  a  more  manly  part  in  looking  to  the  financial  success  of 
this,  our  first  Irish  regiment.  The  boys  are  all  right,  and  have  made 
many  sacrifices  of  their  time  and  means  to  bring  it  to  its  present  per- 
fection. Its  failure,  if  ever  such  should  occur,  will  be  to  the  eternal 
disgrace  to  what  is  known  as  our  wealthy  Irish  citizens.  Let  us  hope 
that  the  brand  of  such  a  crime  is  not  to  fall  on  them.

THE  BLACK  HILLS. 

How  to  Get  to  the  New  Eldorado -And  What   Yon   Will  Find  When  There— 
An  Interesting:  Batch  of  Information. 


From  a  Correspondent  of  the  Detroit  P>-ess. 

CHEYKNNK,  WYOMING,  March  5. — Your  correspondent  arrived  here  to-day.  The  weather  is  what 
eastern  people  would  call  fine.  At  this  elevation  it  is  cool,  but  the  atmosphere  is  dry— too  dry,  I  should  say, 
for  practical  purposes,  for  although  to-day  is  Sunday  the  bars  are  all  in  full  operation  and  well  patronized. 
Gambling  hells  and  theatres  are  also  open,  and  Black  Killers  are  arriving  and  leaving  hourly.  The  roads 
are  as  fine  as  you  would  find  them  in  Detroit  on  a  July  day,  and  quite  as  dusty. 

I  have  just  met  Mr.  J.  H.  Chancy,  of  Colorado  Territory,  and  who  is  connected  with  mining  operations 
in  the  hills.  He  went  to  Custer  City  about  the  1st  of  February,  and  stayed  about  two  weeks.  Custer  City 
has  875  houses  finished  and  150  more  under  way.  There  are  about  2,590  inhabitants  now  in  Custer  City, 
and  Hill  City  is  about  the  same  size.  There  is  a  new  town  laid  out  and  being  settled  fast  nine  miles  below 
Hill  City,  on  Spring  creek,  and  another  going  up  on  Deadwood  creek.  There  are  now  two  saw-mills  in 
full  operation  in  the  hills,  but  they  cannot  supply  lumber  fast  enough,  Six  others  are  reported  to  be  on  the 
road.  Lumber  is  selling  green  from  the  saw  at  $45  to  $50  per  M.  Mr.  Chancy  met  on  the  road  a  fair-sized 
steamed  brewery  and  the  necessary  fixtures,  also  a  party  of  eight  women  and  the  necessary  fixtures  for 
_  opening  a  dance-house,  all  en  route  for  the  Hills.  He  counted,  between  here  and  Custer  City,  over  1,200 
men  on  their  way  into  the  Hills.  They  were  composed  of  all  classes — a  great  many  were  miners  from  Salt 
Lake,  Big  and  Little  Cottonwood  and  California  ;  also  speculators,  business  men,  and  a  great  many  of  the 
poorer  classes  on  foot,  who  will  suffer  on  account  of  their  going  in  too  early. 
WHAT  ABOUT  GOLD  ? 

The  miners  that  are  going  in  are  generally  men  of  clear  sense  and  sound  judgment.  They  send  men 
ahead  of  them  to  prospect,  and  do  not  risk  anything  until  they  get  a  statement.  Raburgh  &  Co.,  at  Custer 
City,  on  French  creek,  take  from  10  to  15  per  cent,  to  the  pan,  or  about  $25  to  the  man,  per  day,  under  diffi- 
culties and  disagreeable  weather,  only  working  four  to  five  hours  per  day.  When  the  warm  weather  opens, 
and  all  can  commence  sluicing,  the  prospects  will  be  better.  Mr.  Chancy  went  down  the  creek,  where  two 
Swedes  were  working,  and  requested  them  to  allow  him  to  prospect  the  dirt  that  they  were  taking  out  and 
packing  to  the  stream  about  75  yards.  They  refused,  but  he  obtained  about  a  fair-sized  handkerchief  full 
and  washed  it.  As  nearly  as  he  could  estimate,  it  would  yield  about  30  cents  to  the  pan,  but  every  miner 
knows  that  dirt  will  show  good  color  in  spots  and  yet  prove  af  ailure ;  that  is  not  pay  to  an  extraordinary 
extent.  Mr.  Chancy  thinks,  from  what  he  has  observed,  and  others  also,  that  I  have  conversed  with,  that 
there  will  he 

RICH  AND  PAYING  CLAIMS. 
opened  by  the  middle  of  the  summer,  and  good  discoveries  made  in  several  different  places. 

On  Spring  creek,  15  miles  from  Custer,  near  Hill  City,  they  have  opened  claims  that  have  averaged 
$1.50  per  hour  to  the  man,  when  they  could  work,  but  the  water  is  very  cold,  and  men  cannot  stand  it  to 
work  over  four  hours  per  day.  There  is  an  excitement  on  Rapid  creek,  and  it  is  also  claimed  on  good 
authority  that  rich  discoveries  have  been  made  recently  on  Iron  creek,  75  miles  north  of  Custer.  All  along 
this  creek,  for  its  entire  length,  the  proof  is  good.  This  comprises  what  I  have  so  far  learned  about  the  gold 
hills.  I  find  that  each  person  that  has  come  out  of  the  hills  is  going  to  return,  sooner  or  later. 
THE  BLACK  HILLS  AS  A  HOME. 

Mr.  Chancy  says  it  is  the  finest  farming  region  in  the  world,  and  that  the  stock  that  have  been  there  all 
winter  are  fat  as  seals.  There  is  plenty  of  grass,  and  no  need  of  cattle  or  horses  starving,  even  if  left  to 
themselves  through  an  entire  winter.  There  has  been  no  snow  to  amount  to  anything,  and  the  creeks  are  all 
open.  Custer  and  Hill  City  both  have  corporation  or  municipal  police  and  justices.  The  towns  are  very 
quiet,  no  rows  or  troubles  of  any  kind  being  prevalent. 

HOW  TO  GET  THERE. 

For  the  benefit  of  people  contemplating  coming  in  here  this  spring,  I  will  give  an  estimate  of  the  ex- 
pense. It  will  cost  for  first-class  fare  over  the  Chicago,  Rock  Island  and  Pacific  and  Union  Pacific  railroads 
to  Cheyenne,  $41 ;  second-class,  $33  ;  emigrant,  $25.50.  This  will  be  the  best  route  to  come  for  those  con- 
templating bringing  any  kind  of  merchandise  with  them,  as  the  Chicago  &  Rock  Island  railroad  have  inside 
rates  on  freight,  and  there  is  less  delay  and  trouble.  In  getting  an  outfit  it  will  be  better  to  leave  it  until 
arriving  at  Cheyenne,  as  it  can  be  purchased  here  as,  cheaply  as  in  Chicago  or  Omaha,  with  the  freight 
added.  The  outfit,  with  provisions  enough  to  last  three  months,  will  cost  about  $100,  and  the  expense 
ranges  from  here  to  the  Hills  all  the  way  from  $  10  to  $20.  One  can  stage  it  in  for  $20,  with  100  pounds  of 
baggage,  distance  182  miles.  There  are  established  ranches  every  18  miles  all  the  way  in. 

COST  OF  LIVING. 

Flour  is  worth  in  Custer  City  $10  for  100  Ibs. ;  bacon,  zoc ;  sugar,  A  coffee,  250 ;  navy  beans,  izc; 
Board  $12  per  week. 

The  Inter  Ocean  hotel  is  perhaps  as  good  a  place  as  one  could  stop  at  in  Cheyenne,  while  staying  here. 
It  is  first-class,  but  prices  are  quite  reasonable,  and  they  take  pains  to  give  reliable  information. 

By  the  way,  a  gentleman  left  here  some  days  since  for  Chicago  to  buy  a  quartz  mill .  He  is  about  to 
open  a  fine  quartz'claim  of  his  in  the  Hills.  Reports  are  favorable  for  quartz  mining. 

Business  is  very  lively  here  with  preparations  for  leaving  for  the  Hills.  The  roads  are  dry  and  hard  all 
the  way  in,  and  feed  is  good  all  along  the  route.  Everybody  concedes  that  this  is  the  best  way  to  come,  by 
all  means — less  trouble  and  the  quickest. 

DANGER  OF  BEING  SCALPED. 

There  is  no  trouble  anticipated  from  the  Indians,  and  so  far  no  depredations  have  been  committed  by 
them  of  any  consequence.  This  route  is  said  to  be  free  entirely  of  roving  bands.  There  is  really  more 

(danger  to  parties  of  three  or  four  going  in  from  whites  than  from  Indians,  and  men  would  be  foolish  to  go  in 
in  small  parties. 

1  understand  that  it  is  not  policy  for  any  one  to  start  till  about  the  middle  of  April,  as  the  spring  break- 
up will  then  be  over  and  the  roads  better..  VAL.
